I find I'm drinking a lot more water at the moment and my lips and mouth are drying out quickly. As the braces stop me from shutting my mouth as tightly as I used to the lips have further to go to meet over the braces. Consequently, I keep realising that my mouth is slightly open and is getting dry.
Dry mouths can eventually cause lips to chap and bad breath. Not something my husband would be very happy with! Not that I can kiss him at the moment, mind you.
So, keep plenty of water handy and try to keep mouth closed as much as possible.
